Bapestas >>>>>>>

Didn't they try to do this at the beginning but couldn't because they didn't have the patent for the AF1 silhouette?

Bape been around for decades and Nike never bothered them right?

Nike must be down bad if they suing them lmao

Nike ain’t selling enough s***ty made Pandas lmao

Need Tiger to sue Nike

After 20 years

Damn

it's not just about bapestas (altho the suit says they've changed them within the last few years to be more like forces), it's cos they do like 6 knock off nikes now lol

I feel like bape is also doing quite well these days and has up sized over the years to sell more s*** even if they're not as iykyk popular as they were

This move is a mix of desperate and dumb cause Nike is unintentionally putting Bape back into the spotlight for no reason and will end up making Bape-stas more popular then ever. Fashion really is a cycle man,cause Nike could've left this alone lol

I was wrong lol. That big Nike logo and the little edit of the front of the shoe was all that was needed to fool me.

If anything the Bapestas have added extra design aspects the past few years that separate them from the Nikes so it’s interesting they say that. This got touched on when the Kiys popped up and SIA was arguing with him

Off the top of my head I know the front of the shoe where the eyelet and toe guard meet and then the back top heel piece they changed it

I don't really know much about the specific construction of bapes but I can kinda see nikes argument looking at the side profiles here alone:

But as u say, they could have a lot of differences otherwise and Nike is just showing what suits them I def think stuff like them doing mid top forces and aj1 knock offs is pushing it a bit either way cos the whole loophole that let them do forces in the first place def doesn't apply there.

I mean all those silhouettes been out since Bapes heyday in the mid 2000’s. I still want a pair of damn roadstas lol

The camo red pair is what I meant when I said they already switched it to where they are no longer the same design as AF1’s once niggas started getting sued lol but if they went back to selling the ones on the right after everything that’s been happening the last few years then they (BAPE) are idiots.

Yep they hitting bape with the Rico

story seems so common for brands

someone always biting and gettin out ahead

wonder if this is also due to the surge of nike rips and ppl always looking at bape being the og
